I just got a cpanel server and it has a firewall chain called acctboth. Is it for some sort of accounting in cpanel? is it needed? any info would be appreciated before I make a new firewall. thanks



Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
acctboth all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
acctboth all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0

hi, my acctboth chain has some strange lines when i run iptables -L. I don't know where those come from. those domains have no relationship with the system:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
acctboth all -- anywhere anywhere

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
acctboth all -- anywhere anywhere

Chain acctboth (2 references)
